ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Using the Outdoors for the ClassroomSome of my most exciting days of teaching is when I take my students outside for a lesson. Every adventure is a brand new experience. You never know what you are going to see or experience which, for me, is very exciting. I know some teachers don't feel comfortable with this way of teaching, but for me, it always seems to work out. Those students who are in touch with nature can take the lead. I encourage all teachers to just try it. I have shared some ideas on how to use the outdoors for different content lessons. These pages will continue to grow, so please check back when you have the time.
